Couldn't remember how to spell Abbottabad, thought it was Abatabad or something along those lines, didn't even think of adding an 'o'

And what every other single other thing that happened, or are we just going to conveniently forget about them too?? To be fair, this quiz should have at least 30,000 to 40,000 questions.

Most of this stuff has nothing to do with the USA. If your feelings still can't handle it, too bad for you.

Convenient that Osama was dropped in the ocean wasn’t it? No way to ever prove that it really was (or wasn’t) him at all - genius! I suppose the rest of the world will just have to take your word for it. After all, when has America ever lied?

The towers were demolished, and the bullshit continues
